Hello all, im a newbie to this forum. I been flying SLKs for years, well I saw a nexus 5 stack on my local CL for sale for 100 so i had to go get it. Ive never flown a stunt kite till today, I must say im hooked and i had a blast. I wasnt sure if i should try to fly all 5 my first time out so I took the first kite of the stack and headed down to edgewater park. it took me a few tries in low wind to get it up but i finally got it and i was stoked. cant wait to do it again, Im going to practice a bit more with the 1 kite before i launch the stack. all in all i think i got a great deal on a sweet kite and i had a lot of fun flying it.

Thanks guys, I did pretty good today then..the wind was only blowin about 8 or so and not very consistant. I managed some figure 8s, some quick turns right at the ground, some horizontal flying, some circles in both directions, i did get a bit confused when my lines were twisted but i still didnt crash it very hard. it was pretty cool I cant wait to fly the stack. I ll try to get some pics when i do.

The photo of that 7 stack looks like so much fun! Makes me want to get a stack to fly, not just one. Can any stunt kites be stacked? If I buy one now and a couple more later can I stack them as I get them?

Nice 6 pack Ike....I havent flown my stack yet...I did notice that my pigtails and connecting links are not exactly the same length so I will try and get that all dialed in before i head out with it. Im new to stunt kites so im still having fun with just the 1 kite in the air.

Depending on the stack and wind I like Mike will use anything from 100-300# line. I would invest in a 250 or 300# set for the stack. THe stock 200 is good but since you got it used you don't know what condition the lines are in or what weight. I've broken 200# on my vision stack and it doesn't pull as hard as the nexus stacks i have flown.

Steve has some power kite line that is a spectra blend that works good for stacks and you don't have to sleeve it. I'm sure he can cut you a set if he still has the bulk rolls with some left.
